The guided trails, part of the National Steps Challenge, are tailored for seniors.

A new challenge that features guided walking trails curated specially for seniors who participate in this year's National Steps Challenge was launched yesterday.

The number of seniors joining the yearly exercise programme has risen.

Over the programme's first four editions, the number of participants aged 60 and above has grown from 16,000 in 2015 to 140,000 last year, said Senior Minister of State for Health Amy Khor.

These participants have also been walking more, with the number of average daily steps clocked by this age group increasing from 6,900 to 10,500 over the same period, she added at the launch of the new Silver Challenge at Tampines Community Plaza.

The challenge features walks at iconic locations and nature parks in various parts of Singapore, such as Tampines Eco-green, and simple tips on healthy ageing.

The total number of trails and their locations have yet to be confirmed by the Health Promotion Board (HPB).

TRIBUTE
The Silver Challenge is meant as a tribute to the Merdeka Generation and to motivate the elderly to stay physically active.

Since sign-ups for the Silver Challenge opened last Friday, 18,000 seniors have joined the challenge, said HPB.

Participants get a specially designed heart-rate monitoring fitness tracker that has a colour display, a silver rim and an extra set of black-and-red straps.

Dr Khor noted that while life expectancy increased from 76.1 years in 1990 to 84.8 years in 2017, the number of years spent in ill health also rose from nine years to 10.5 years over the same period.

"What we want to do, really, is to help Singaporeans to add more life to years, and not just years to life," she said. "And in order to do that, we need to encourage seniors to take care of their own health, so that they can reap health benefits as they age and continue to pursue their interests."

Ms Linda Teo, 68, signed up for the Silver Challenge as she enjoys keeping active.

"The route at Tampines Eco-green was scenic and I enjoyed it. I would encourage more seniors to join," said Ms Teo, a former businesswoman who exercises at least two hours a day, six days a week.

Season 4 of the National Steps Challenge had 800,000 sign-ups, a five-fold increase from Season 1, launched in 2015.

Data across the last four seasons also showed a rise in physical activity among participants over time, driven by clocking steps and engagement in higher-intensity exercises.

Those who participated in all past seasons recorded an improvement of 3,950 steps per day since the first season.

This year's National Steps Challenge starts on Oct 26 and ends on April 30 next year.

“A wise man is full of strength, and a man of knowledge enhances his might.” “She girds herself with strength; she exerts her arms with vigor.” (Proverbs 24:5, 31:17)
It’s important to include strength training exercises as part of your fitness program. Not only will everyday chores and activities become easier, but you will also strengthen your bones. Try lifting weights, using stretch cords or bands, medicine balls, kettlebells, or simple body weight calisthenics.

I carried a $4,000 Chanel to see what the hype was all about -- but it only convinced me luxury bags are not for everyone

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. But in the past week, a different adage spoke to me - weary is the hand that carries a Chanel.

There's a certain reverence for the brand which appears to instantly elevate one's status, and people my age regard the ownership of a Chanel as a legit #accomplishment.

While other brands like Hermes could be exponentially more expensive, ownership of a Chanel to millennials seem to be the equivalent of owning a Rolex to my parent's generation.

I've never really understood the hype. Then again, I carry a giant backpack to office that has been through thick and thin with me, containing a giant water bottle and a spare change of clothes for my after-work gym activities.

So when the opportunity came to pick a Chanel out of 1,500 luxury bags (more on that later), I volunteered to see if it'll have a major impact on my life.

TL;DR? ("too long; didn't read.") Not exactly. But a certain designer bag subscription service kind of did.

WHY A CHANEL IS NOT FOR ME
The moment I held the Chanel, it was apparent that this was not the bag for me.

According to colleagues, the style and colour of the bag aged me by a decade and I left the office that day with my boss cautioning me that the company would not be paying for any damages incurred.

This made me more paranoid about potential scratches or stains that could tarnish the soft leather — perhaps going with nude was not a wise choice.

While hanging on precariously to the MRT pole on my way home, I unconsciously clutched the bag protectively. I kept stealing furtive looks at my fellow commuters because I was afraid someone could accidentally damage (or worse, steal) the bag.
I had to lift the Chanel up like this to protect it from low-lying bushes.

IT'S NOT THE BRAND, IT'S YOU
While reflecting on my experience, I came to the realisation I chose a bag that failed to match my existing wardrobe and lifestyle, so the failed luxe experience was on me, not the Chanel.

Because comfort trumps aesthetics, most of my wardrobe consists of stretchy cotton and athleisure, so it was a struggle to dress in a manner befitting the elegance of a classic Chanel.

And since I'm a homebody whose favourite activity is Netflix, there wasn't much opportunity for me to bring the Chanel out anyway.
I specially wore this dress out, and it's only the third time I've worn this since buying it in 2012.

If a certain bag with a four-figure price tag has caught your eye as of late, important factors to take into consideration include your lifestyle and personality - otherwise it'll just become a white elephant.

RENT OVER 1,500 DESIGNER BAGS AT $129/MONTH
After the failed Chanel experiment, I decided to give Style Theory's designer bag subscription service another go — this time picking a bag with an aesthetic that appealed to me, rather than its brand.

For my second try, I went with a chic black YSL bag that captured the hearts of several of my colleagues the moment it arrived in office.

This time, I found it easier to match my daily #OOTD with the bag, and its dark colour meant I could carry it without fearing stains on the leather as much.

If you're a klutz yourself and worried about damaging the goods, Style Theory has an co-payment scheme in place for an additional ＄10 a month that ensures repair costs won't go beyond ＄75.

The subscription is a monthly one (just like Netflix), and users pay ＄129 a month to choose up to two bags from over 1,500 bags, with brands such as Celine, Gucci, Loewe, Bottega Veneta and more.

Each bag can be rented for a maximum of three months, and once passed, a late fee of ＄5 will be imposed for every day until the bag is returned.

Selected styles also have an additional charge that can range from ＄30 to ＄120, and this fee covers all cleaning and express two-day delivery.
The Chanel had an additional charge of $80/month.

But do take note that each bag has to be returned before a new one is borrowed, so technically users can only rent one bag at any point in time.

From personal experience, the delivery and return process was hassle-free, though the box was a tad bulky and troublesome to lug home.

While I'm not exactly a convert who's willing to spend her next salary on some pricey arm candy, I can see how designer bag-lovers will find the platform useful to try bags out before deciding to give it a forever home.

If you've never owned a luxury bag before, this service is a chance to get a taste of what that feels like and also a way to enjoy the bags without committing to a single brand or style.

One of the more frustrating things about the service though, was that many of the more popular designs and brands I wanted to try out were not available for rent.

That said, a representative told me the subscriber base has at least tripled since January 2019 and they've enforced a waitlist to ensure healthy bag to subscriber ratio.

If you have one too many white elephants sitting at home, Style Theory has an option for you to sell or consign the bags to help clear the space in your wardrobe and receive a 90 per cent commission on the sale price and receive rental fees until your bag is sold.

Anyone interested in giving this service a go?

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matthew 6:19-21).
